Voxer

Voxer is a great app that allows you to connect with other people (or groups) through text messages, voice messages, photos, video or GIFs. One of the coolest features of this tool is that it allows you to listen in real time as someone is speaking and reply immediately OR listen later when its most convenient for you. With their free account you can message privately with a single person or create groups of 15 people or less to message with. The group feature makes this tools applications limitless.

Voxer can be used to communicate with colleagues, students or parents and has a notes feature where you can record notes for yourself to go back later and listen to or watch. For my friends that use Voxer, this has become our main source of communication, trumping the standard text messaging apps on our phones.
